BIS plus MCE - Bilfinger Berger Industrial Services

Setting standards
Reputation established through orientation to solutions
With roots in Rheinhold & Mahla AG, whose history
goes back as far as 1887, the BIS Group has belonged to
Bilfinger Berger AG, Mannheim, since 2002. When it was
renamed Bilfinger Berger Industrial Services in 2006, the
lambda symbol was also modified. Since then, the new BIS
lambda has symbolised the Company’s successful position
as a provider of solutions. It realised early on that the
manufacturing industry is increasingly relying on external
service partners possessing extensive problem-solving skills
to handle its maintenance requirements. In this regard, its
particular strengths include its international outlook and a
non-centralised corporate structure with over 100 operating
companies.
From industry, for industry
MCE was established in 1989 in connection with the
restructuring of the publicly owned Austrian industry.
Originally incorporated in the 1930s as a specialist in steel
and plant construction, MCE evolved into one of Europe’s
leading plant technology and industrial service specialists
over the years through acquisitions, restructuring and
organic growth. In 2009, MCE AG comprised around
30 operating companies of varying sizes and backgrounds.
The oldest company within the MCE Group, VAM Anlagentechnik
und Montagen, was established as long ago as
in 1887, while the most recent addition was TSG
Industrieservice in 2008.
